Chapter 48 (Three more)
Late at night, Concubine De came to the side hall, looked at the maid who was dragged out again, frowned, and sighed deeply.

Nanny Qin supported Concubine De and didn't know how to comfort her.These seven princesses are indeed becoming more and more lawless. In the past few days, a palace servant has been dragged out almost every day. They all have hideous faces and have been tortured to death.Recently, Qingning Palace has been keeping a close eye on it, and it took a lot of effort just to finish it.

Through the door, Bai Renyi inside saw the figure of Concubine De, and rushed to the door like a beast preying on prey, "Concubine, let me out, how long are you going to lock me up, do you really want to marry me off?" person?"

Looking at the violently shaking door frame, Concubine De frowned and took a step back, "The Cui family is an aristocratic family. They have been ministers for many generations, and they are also family friends with your grandfather's Duan family. It is enough to be married to the royal family. How can you say it is casual?"

"I don't want to marry, I haven't reached the age yet. I don't know who to marry yet, mother concubine, are you going to give me to the Cui family as a gift?"

"Cui Chaojun is the nephew of Cui Shangshu and the grandson of the chief of the Cui clan. The future patriarch of the aristocratic family has a noble character and is good enough for you. Before you reach the end, you can stay at the Penglai Hall and prepare for marriage. The palace has secretly I have passed a letter with Mrs. Cui, and I will go to your father to ask for a marriage decree someday."

"I don't want it. I haven't seen him before. I don't want to marry. Concubine Mu, are you trying to get the Cui family to support Brother Huang?"

Concubine De had gone far away, and did not hear Bai Renyi's words behind her.Frowning, he held his forehead and sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, I have a headache, do you want to announce the Imperial Physician?"

Concubine De waved her hand.

"Your Majesty, take it easy. When the princess gets married, she will understand your painstaking efforts in the future."

In the early morning, as soon as Manman returned to Qingsi Palace, he saw Lu Bo waiting haggardly with dark circles under his eyes.

"Princess, all the people in Yeting imprisoned by this slave are dead."

He was stunned for a moment and put down the tea cup in his hand.Previously, Lu Bo was asked to lead people to imprison Bai Renyi's aides who abused palace people in Yeting, in case there was an accident in early spring, and they could be used as new handles.I didn't expect Concubine De to be so ruthless and have no scruples, just silence her.Unfortunately, there is no way to reveal this to the public at this time, because these people are being held secretly, and if they are traced, Lu Bo will definitely be involved.

"I see, let's deal with it in the same way as Concubine De used to. Get some silver from Han Zhi. Send it outside the palace in a few days to the home of the little eunuch who sent early spring."

Lu Bo wiped his eyes with his hands, "This time, the servant is dragging you down for the princess, and the servant has already prepared money for his family, don't worry."

"I didn't think carefully. Take it, I know you will give me one. Send it in a few days to avoid being watched."

Lu Bo nodded heavily, "I understand."

"Hanzhi, I'm going to Wenhua Hall to study in two days. I want to find out who is teaching. Although my mother will also prepare it, I still go to the warehouse to prepare some gifts and jewelry for appreciation, just in case. needs."

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

Seeing Pine Cone gloating in, Yiman smiled, "What's the matter, so happy?"

"Princess, Du Cainu went to Yeting to 'visit' Guo Cairen, and was bumped into by a female officer from Yeting. I heard that Guo Cairen's body was covered with swill at that time, and Du Cainv was also reprimanded by a female officer from Yeting. She was so shameless. He left in despair."

After all, Guo Cairen is the biological mother of the Eighth Princess. She doesn’t look at the monk’s face but the Buddha’s face.I thought that Du Cainu was a wealthy woman, but I didn't expect that she would step on her as soon as she saw her downfall.The female officer went there in time and happened to see Guo Cairen being bullied. The eighth princess was not as cruel as she appeared.

"Song Guo, go tell Grandma Gao and ask her to take out all the accounts and documents from the palace in the past years. It should have been a long time since the Qingning Palace came for verification. After the verification, ask the queen mother to give her father a document to bring out the accounts and directors from previous years. The folds are deposited in the treasury.”

Song Guo nodded half-understanding, and went to deliver the message.

Ji Lan waved back the palace man and changed a cup of tea for Yiman, "Princess, I heard from Sister Hanzhi that the accounts and booklets in the palace are put into the warehouse every five years. Checking the accounts is a hard job. Will the empress agree? ?”

Although it's not time to store it yet, if the queen wants to check it in advance, it's not impossible, besides, it's just a ploy to win over the emperor.

It is impossible for the empress to serve others with sex like Xia Zuyi or the young concubines, but she and the emperor are young couples. They have been with the emperor for many years and have experienced wind and rain. Naturally, they have a different relationship between husband and wife.

If the queen wants the emperor to visit Qingning Palace more often, the best way is to become a virtuous queen in the eyes of the emperor and his subjects.Although the Queen has done a lot of things over the years, they have not been 'made public'. Therefore, the fastest way for the Queen to regain the favor of the Emperor is to let the Emperor see her achievements, the difficulty of running the harem, and the big and small things. The complexity of the book reminds me of the warmth and affection of teenagers and the mutual support in times of difficulty.

Qing Ning Palace has to deal with a large number of accounts and papers in the palace every month, and Mother Gao will naturally pick out any achievements the queen has made.When the time comes, the papers stored in the warehouse will be shown to the emperor, and bits and pieces will naturally come to mind.

"I returned to the palace this year, and a lot of things were added to the Qingsi Hall. Didn't Concubine De also say that the Seventh Princess will get married next year and before the hairpin? Everyone must prepare in advance and set aside money." Even if the Queen Mother doesn't understand, , even a smart person like Grandma Gao will figure it out.

"So that's the case, but the emperor hasn't issued an imperial decree on the wedding of the Seventh Princess, is it appropriate for the empress to bring it up first?"

"Concubine De was the one who brought it up first. Since Concubine De has said it, it is a matter of certainty. If Emperor Father doesn't know, it can be regarded as helping Concubine De to communicate."

Seeing the eldest princess smiling, Ji Lan smiled lightly and nodded, "I understand, my slave."

A few days later, as soon as Man went to Qingning Palace to pay his respects, as soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he saw the emperor's guard of honor waiting outside.

Within a few steps of walking in, Grandma Gao led someone to greet her.

"Princess, you are here."

Seeing the happy faces of the Qing Ning Palace's palace maids, the corner of Nanny Gao's mouth was smiling, she turned her head playfully to look inside, and said with a light smile: "It seems that I came at the wrong time."

Nanny Gao smiled, "It's also thanks to Eldest Princess Bingxue's intelligence, what's the matter with Eldest Princess?"

"It's nothing important, I'll come back another day to say hello."

Nanny Gao sent Yiman away with a smile in her eyes, turned around and walked into the hall to wait for orders.

"So, Concubine De is already interested in the Cui family?"

The emperor half-closed his eyes, unable to see the cloudy sky. The queen's eyes were full of expectation and she answered the emperor's questions honestly.

"Concubine De means to finish the matter before the Seventh Princess reaches Ji."

The emperor slowly opened his eyes, "In such a hurry?"

Although the queen knew the inside story, she couldn't explain the reason clearly, so she had to pick up the teapot nearby and give the emperor a cup of tea.

The emperor suddenly smiled, "Why do you care about the Cui family?"

The emperor finally came to Qingning Palace without incident, and the empress didn't want to talk more about Concubine De, but she couldn't bear to disobey the emperor.

"That day, I heard Concubine De mentioning the young master of Princess Rongyu's family. I don't know why I chose the Cui family."

"Speaking of the one in Zhou Shilang's family, I still remember that back then he once bragged that he would not enter the court in this life, but he forgot whether he made an oath or not."

Seeing the emperor talking casually with a smile, the queen's heart became softer and softer, with the unchanging love of youth in her eyes, "He is just young and frivolous. If he cannot serve your majesty, he will regret it sooner or later."
